By Caleb O'Connor
Located in Chicago, IL
This is large scale painting by Caleb O'Connor captures the action and drama of a male figure leaping between buildings under construction. Originally painted by Caleb circa 2007, this artwork was purchased by a collector and remained in that collection until January 2019 when it was shipped to the gallery and is for sale on the secondary market. The contemporary clothing and urban nature of the scene enhance the breathtaking moment of a man captured in mid air.
